Earlier this summer, my wife and I took a drive down the length of the crooked Phippsburg peninsula to Popham Beach. It was a cloudy afternoon, with thunderstorms gathering on the western horizon, but we wanted to see the piping plovers and the least terns that nest in the dune grass on the south side of the beach. We arrived at the lowest of low tides; the so-called super moon had sucked the sea back to the edge of the islands, and I felt like I was looking out at a glistening, newborn landscape.

Maine’s public gardens are more than just beautiful — they’re arsenals of gardening knowledge, and even the greenest of thumbs can learn a thing or two while strolling the peaceful paths of these twelve botanical oases (though there are, of course, many more). Use this guide to find your most-loved blooms and discover new favorites to plant at home.
